Objective: Collaborative information-seeking behavior has become a hot topic among researchers, as it is essential to meet the complex and challenging information needs of people. This study aims to investigate the impact of six personality factors of the HEXACO model on the tendency of Shiraz University students towards collaborative information-seeking behavior.
Methods: The research tools included the Zares Questionnaire (2021) that its reliability was obtained from Cronbach's alpha coefficient (α=0.908) and The personality questionnaire of HEXACO di Veriza (2013) that it’s validity has been evaluated from the point of view of content, face, and criteria, and its reliability coefficient has been calculated above 0.7 for this research.
Results: The results showed that among the personality factors, the honesty-humility (H) factor (B=0.237) had the most significant positive effect on the tendency towards collaborative information-seeking behavior.
originality / value: Considering the existing research gap in the of identifying factors affecting collaborative information seeking behavior, identifying one of the important individual factors affecting this behavior can be considered an attempt to understand this scientific field. In addition, the results of this study will help all individuals, including researchers, professors, and managers, to take steps to strengthen and improve the honesty-humility dimension by recognizing and investing in it, in order to facilitate the movement towards collaborative information seeking behaviors. Also, laying the groundwork for improving the performance of collaborative information systems by considering psychological variables in the spaces governing collaborative information seeking is one of the important issues derived from this study.
